After we got married, Vins convinced me to finally go
running with him. It really means a lot to him since he says he wants us to do
an activity as a couple together (hmmm… isn’t shopping an activity?). To be
honest, what really motivated me was the whole new running wardrobe I was
getting. Vins bought me shoes, shorts, dri-fit shirts, and sports bras (he was
generous since he said it was an investment anyway). And then I got pregnant and that
was the end of my running career before it even started (Vins then said that was the worst investment he had ever made).
I promised Vins that once I gave birth, I would get back to
running. Sayang naman all my running outfits dba? But then, I got pregnant again(!) so that was that.
Now, it’s been 7 months after giving birth to Sabe and I
have no more excuses. 2 days ago, Vins dragged me to the park to join him in
his afternoon jog. I was all confident, even telling Vins that if I ran 3k, he
should treat me to Papa John’s pizza (siyempre start pa lang ng workout, food
na agad ang iniisip!).
So we ran… and after a couple of minutes, my sides were
starting to ache, my knees were beginning to get wobbly, I was breaking out
into a sweat… I asked Vins how many kilometers we had ran so far…
Vins: “0.3km…”
Huwaaaaaat???!!! I’d be dead before we even reach 1k!
But I wasn’t going to give up (I could already smell the
pizza). After I had ran all I could, the final distance I did was 1.25k! But
that was just running! Vins didn’t count the parts we walked in between. If he
did, I’d have totaled more than 3k for sure!
If I keep this up, hopefully I can join a running event sometime early next year (Condura Marathon in February?). Wish me luck!
